firefox 4 looks about the same...

Why is it that when I start ie9, all the trees bend in towards my house?

If at first you don’t succeed; call it version 1.0. If it happens again and again? Call it ie9. 

At least FF works whereas IE9 just sits there lookin' stupid.

ie9 works too. Just not for you.

If it was that bad I wouldn't use it either.  But then it seems to work fine for me. 

Look at the bright side: As more and nore people become aware of 'ugly', (and ff3/Chrome/Opera aren't much better), more eyes will turn to customization.

Blame the success of Chrome ... 

Isn't that an Oxymoron?

Title: "Why is IE9 so ugly?" I don't know any browsers that you would call good looking.

Seems every couple weeks a thread is coming out that bashes Microsoft IE. Really, doesn't this become old hat so to speak.
We all have a certain browser we like and us so why don't we just use the one we like and forget about the rest.

We all know Draginol so my question is did he post "Why is IE9 so ugly?" because he uses it but doesn't like it at all?

My answer is if you think it's ugly but it works good for you and you use it who cares. If you if you think it's ugly and don't use it who cares.

If it doesn't work for some then just don't use it as there are many choices available. Last, there are many people that have been using FF, Chrome, Opera, and others for years so why even waist the time trying IE when you already know you won't like it.

Because it won't let WB skin it.  Duh!   

I'd get those eyes seen about...lol...

If we never saw ugly how would we know what beauty was?

why is IE9 so ugly?.... to give people with nothing better to do, something to bitch and moan about

Maybe you need to use a different theme? For me it looks every much like IE8 (and I am assuming that you are specifying 9 that you did not have a issue with 8).

IE9? Whassat?

It'd be nice if it were.....'so Neil can get Windowblinds to skin it 100% perfectly' .....
